ORIGIN

This 1982 Porsche 911SC Targa was a long-time California car before being acquired by the seller in 2014. A fuel injection system refresh and valve adjustment were completed after the car sat for three years prior to the purchase. The original 3.0-liter flat-six is mated to a 5-speed 915 transaxle and equipped with oil-pressure fed chain tensioners, SSI heat exchangers, and an M&K stainless steel exhaust. A repaint in the factory Platinum Metallic was carried out about four years ago, and the targa top has also been rebuilt and the interior reupholstered. 95k miles are shown on the odometer, and partial service records go back to 1998. This 911SC is now being offered with a Porsche CoA, a clean Carfax report, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.

Beginning in late 2014, the car received a glass-out, bare-metal repaint in Platinum Metallic (655) along with replacement of the body seals and windshield. The headlights have been upgraded to H4 units and feature polished trim rings.The targa bar, emblems and trim pieces are finished in satin black and headlight washers can be seen on the front bumper.

The black targa top was rebuilt by Dan Petchel at Cars Inc in 2014 and is shown up close in the gallery below. The 16″ polished Fuchs wheels feature center caps with colored crests and are mounted with Kumho Ecsta SPT tires. In April 2018 the brake system were serviced with new lines and pads, and the calipers were also rebuilt. Turbo tie rods have been added.

Originally brown, the interior has been converted to two-tone, with dash and trim recovered in black by Classic 9 Leather Shop in addition to the black carpeting. The front seats have been reupholstered in brown perforated leather, which the seller states is a good, but not a perfect, match for the original brown leatherette rear seats. The air conditioning compressor and condenser have been removed, but are included in the sale.

The 3-spoke steering wheel is fitted with a Porsche crest horn button and a CD player head unit is connected to JBL speakers. 95k miles are shown on the odometer, 4,500 of which were added by the seller in four years of ownership. An in-car driving video can be seen above.

The 3.0-liter M930/16 flat-six can be seen idling above and has been upgraded with Carrera-style oil-pressure fed chain tensioners and a backfire blow-off valve in the air box. Subsequent recommissioning work included refreshing the CIS fuel injection system, including new fuel injectors, replacement of vacuum lines, and a valve adjustment. The exhaust was modified with SSI heat exchangers and a M&K stainless steel muffler. The seller states that service since 2014 has included regular oil and filter changes along with replacement spark plugs, fan belt, fuel filter, distributor cap, and rotor.

Stamping *64C0921* matches the CoA, confirming the engine as original. The seller reports of the occasional puff of smoke upon startup and some minor oil drips, and the most recent service was an oil change in June 2018. The 915/63 5-speed manual transaxle received new oil in 2014, and the shifter bushings are said to have been replaced.

Additional photos of the 2014-2015 bare-metal repaint can be seen in the gallery below.

The Porsche CoA shows the factory colors, powertrain numbers, and options, as well as a completion date of October 11, 1981.

The included Carfax report begins in 1990 and shows regular mileage checks during emissions testing. Partial service records going back to 1998 are included in the sale as shown in the gallery below. A video of the engine start can be seen below.
